Blue Ivy Carter: First Photos!

Granted, the first offspring of mega couple Beyonce and Jay-Z arrived on January 8, but her first photos only surfaced online today, courtesy of the rapper's blog, Life + Times. Look at happy mother and adorable daughter below:

At first, of course, there was a question over what the baby's name actually was, but Beyonce and Jay-Z have most definitely made it very clear: they've already moved to trademark the moniker Blue Ivy.

A tad pretentious? Sure. But how can we find any fault in something really to someone so cute?!? Just look at the tyke again:

Follow Beyonce?

To all of those complaining that she doesn't look "picture perfect", obviously did not take this right after giving birth, nor is she attempting to make it seem like she did. She's just laying on a bed,not necessarily a hospital bed. She has every right to keep the photos right after birth private and share what she chooses to share. People need to stop judging.

Whether Beyonce gave birth or not its none of our business.. She deserves to be a mother to that little adorable girl. Back off people and let her be the mother she was meant to be. I am happy for you her and Jay

First of all congratulations on being a mom. You have a beautiful baby girl. Now I have to say for a woman that just gave birth you look photo perfect and that I have to say bullllshit. When I had my son I looked like a truck ran me over backed up and ran me over again. I was sweaty pale and not smiling while the doctor was stitching me up. If you are gonna post a pic do it without all the make up and hoopala. You don't always have to be picture perfect your a mom now. Your daughter comes before you your stylistic and. Make up. Artist. So please b keep it real for Ur daughter's sake
